CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Ticker) -- The Washington Wizards
made a ton of mistakes, but it was not anything Antawn Jamison
couldn't help them overcome.

Jamison sparked a key third-quarter run and the Wizards overcame
26 turnovers to post a 100-91 victory over the Charlotte
Bobcats in a preseason matchup.

Charlotte started the second half on an 8-2 run to tie the game,
55-55, but Jamison ignited an 11-0 outburst that gave the
Wizards the lead for good.

Jamison, who finished with 22 points, started the run with a
3-pointer with 9:01 left in the quarter and capped it just under
two minutes later by connecting again from the arc to give
Washington a 66-55 lead.

Gerald Wallace scored 22 points and was the only Bobcat in
double figures. Rookie Adam Morrison, the third overall draft
selection last June, scored seven points for Charlotte, which
shot just 57 percent (20-for-35) from the line.
